A Song a day: 1st July 2014 (雞蛋與羔羊

Hi everyone, I am finally back home, so now this blog will finally go back to normal. I sort of promise to write a post in the last few days, but a few unexpected things happened and so I had to sort them out and got no time to write a post. So I will write two post today, one for yesterday (this one) and one for today.

For yesterday, I chose the song “雞蛋與羔羊” by Kay Tse. This is a new song. The direct English translation of the title is “Egg and lamb”. According to the writer, the song was inspired by the movie “12 Years a Slave”. I chose this song because it somewhat express the feeling of Hong Kong people right now and yesterday (1st July) was the day when Hong Kong returned to China, so it got a historical meaning. In recent years this day has become an important day for Hong Kong people to express their opinions to the government. I wasn’t able to go there to show my support so I will show my support here on the internet to let more people know about the current status of Hong Kong, and hence why I have chosen this song for yesterday.

The lyrics of the song are about freedom. It said the smell of the flower in the sleeping room; the looks of my wife; every good memory came up in his mind in his dream. The window of his cell; the sounds of the chain; told him that he will never return to his past. After being drunk, he still believe that his life will go back to normal, but he would never thought he had been tricked; became a slave, bad things will happened, so bad that he couldn’t imagined. Meal A, egg crashing into the wall. It would end heroically, and will not give in. Meal B, chose to become a lamb. Stay in the ranch for the rest of his life. How to choose become these options? We have already got to the time where we have to choose, keep dragging on and we will die. Pretend to be sleeping, and we will be waiting for others to pay tribute to us in our dream. The alarm is raining, and it sounds tenses. Everywhere around us is quickly changing, getting rid of the old colour and style. Knives and guns are holding up high so arrogantly, wanting all the old value to become trash. Being so peaceful for a long time make us think that peaceful and happiness will last forever. Who would have thought that the things that we have got yesterday would disappeared instantly; just like tones of snow fallen onto our head. Meal A, egg crashing into the wall. It would end heroically, and will not give in. Meal B, chose to become a lamb. Stay in the ranch for the rest of his life. How to choose become these options? We have already got to the time where we have to choose, keep dragging on and we will die. Forget about dreaming. An egg hitting a wall, it will definitely break, so how could it challenge? But if a pile of egg look at the wall, it could become a force field and it will grow. Today, the egg chose to hit the wall and not worry to die heroically, and it will not give in. Otherwise, become a lamb and stay in the ranch for the rest of your life. Which one is more ideal, you better think fast. We have already got to the time where we have to choose, keep dragging on and we will die. Pretend to be sleeping, and we will be waiting for others to pay tribute to us in our dream. If we could dream, beautiful. Hope you will love this song as much as I do.
